Overcoats: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Музыка

Bob Boilen | March 27, 2017 - Overcoats' music has been undeniable for me from the first time I saw the duo perform. The deep friendship between Hana Elion and JJ Mitchell comes across in their vibrant harmonies and the bountiful dance parties that pop up as they go.
Behind those rich voices lies a spare electronic backdrop that feels spacious and refreshing. Not long ago, these songs would likely be backed by a nylon-stringed guitar, but their healthy energy feels more urgent with an underpinning drone and Joao Gonzalez's drumming at the Tiny Desk. Elion and Mitchell carry the melody, and I always find myself uplifted, wanting more.
Young, Overcoats' debut album, comes out April 21. (iTunes) (Amazon)
Set List
"23"
"Leave The Light On"
"Hold Me Close"
Musicians
Hana Elion (vocals, guitar); JJ Mitchell (vocals); Joao Gonzalez (percussion).
Credits
Producers: Bob Boilen, Bronson Arcuri; Audio Engineer: Josh Rogosin; Director: Colin Marshall; Videographers: Colin Marshall, Morgan Noelle Smith, Bronson Arcuri; Production Assistant: A Noah Harrison; Photo: Marian Carrasquero/NPR.

    How refreshing to watch talented musicians enjoy themselves in the delivery of their art. These liberated women with the uplifting vocals turned mens' XXXL T-shirts into Goddess' robes. Inspiring.

    Thank you so much NPR! First time I heard of Overcoats was in the TV Show Cloak and Dagger, where in a dramatic scene "leave a light on" was played. That was an instant buy. And now, after listening time and again to the Album "young" it still won't get boring. Love the harmony in their voices!

Like mormons clearly don't understand that the first humans were really dark-skinned and evolution turned humans white through partial albinism

    Honestly, I've long since been a big fan of their earlier tracks -- Walk On, Little Memory, the Fog, etc. But the first two songs of this performance just really didn't quite do it for me. I regret saying that, truly. The last song was much more the Overcoats I was looking for / hoping for. All of this is to say, I'm not much one for (pre) expectations, but it just felt a tad... chintzy? Idk. Maybe it was the whole 'dance party' aspect that threw me off from the vocals and inflection(s). Even the most non-judgemental can be quite the opposite, myself included. Even scrolling down to write this, and not watching, can marginally change how I feel. I guess part of it might be the background pre-recorded vocal call/echoes, or something like that. Anyone feel me? The lyrics were one aspect that felt a little shallow or too repetitive, something of the sort. Obviously, they haven't lost a follower by any means, and I'm sure more listening will change how I feel, respectively. I mean, it's only one short performance, but I wasn't wholly 'wow'd'.

    the first song (its called 23) really didn’t sound as good live, but it’s actually super good once you download it! i think that when they sang it live, it wasn’t quite right, but i do recommend giving it a try.
